      abstract     = {Zinc acetate in combination with water plays a key role
                      during the coarsening of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals at
                      moderate temperature (85 °C) in air. The growth of ZnO
                      nanocrystals is well known in liquid phase systems, but this
                      work shows that this process is strongly enhanced in powder
                      form by the presence of residual acetate. The growth of the
                      ZnO nanocrystals was documented by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
                      and high resolution transmission electron microscopy
                      (HRTEM), showing a preferred growth along [0001]
                      crystallographic direction. An increase of more than $400\%$
                      in crystal size was observed, which could be related to
                      coarsening but not due to precipitation from solution. In
                      contrast, particle size stayed almost constant if pure zinc
                      oxide powder was used. This growth is expected to slowly
                      occur during storage even under ambient conditions. The
                      limited stability of nanopowders limits their applicability
                      as well as pressing into bulk materials.},
